Frequently asked questions
BioTrack scores F on the API Report Card. BioTrack publishes per-state API references (Hawaii, Illinois, New Mexico) built on raw XML or JSON POST requests, currently version 4.0. There is no sandbox or unified cross-state version; New York requires state registration, and paid concierge tiers handle integrator support.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.
BioTrack is a cannabis-industry software suite that operates on both sides of the regulated cannabis market: (1) a government seed-to-sale traceability system that state cannabis regulators license to monitor every plant, harvest batch, manufactured product, transfer, and retail transaction from cultivation through final sale, and (2) a commercial ERP, cultivation, manufacturing, and dispensary point-of-sale (POS) suite that licensed cannabis operators use to run day-to-day operations and report into whatever state traceability system (BioTrack's or Metrc's) their jurisdiction mandates.
Two distinct buyers. On the government side, regulators use BioTrack to receive real-time data from licensed operators (plant tags, harvest weights, manufactured product batches, lab results, transfers between licensees, retail sales, destruction events), run compliance reports, manage license issuance and renewals, and respond to recalls.
High within US cannabis state traceability, moderate within commercial cannabis POS, negligible outside cannabis. BioTrack is one of only two serious US cannabis state-traceability vendors (the other being Metrc).
Licensee accounts and license metadata; plant lifecycle records (immature, vegetative, flowering, harvested) with unique plant tags; mother plants and clones; harvest batches and wet/dry weights; manufactured product batches and conversion records (e.g., flower-to-concentrate); inventory rooms and storage locations; lab samples and Certificates of Analysis (potency, pesticides, microbials, heavy metals, residual solvents); transfer manifests between licensees with vehicle and driver data; retail transactions with patient/customer ID, product, quantity, price, taxes, and loyalty data; patient registry data (medical states) with caregiver relationships; destruction and waste events; recall events; tax remittance and reporting; user/operator audit logs; and per-state regulatory submission events.

Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
Yes. Supergood maintains an unofficial BioTrack API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write BioTrack data. See the BioTrack integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/biotrack-api.
